Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [ ] Anthropic API
- [ ] AWS Bedrock
- [ ] Google Vertex AI
- [ x] Other: Windows
- Claude CLI version: 1.0.56
- Operating System: Windows 10+
Bug Description
In Claude Code, CTRL+ENTER produces a new line in the editor. However, on Windows, the standard for this is SHIFT+ENTER. This causes usability issues and often makes the user accidentally submit data before they are ready.
In fact, it's confusing my brain personally when entrering text now, and I just hit CTRL+ENTER in this window, which submitted the bug before I was ready.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code
- Type something
- Hit the Windows combination for a new line without submitting (SHIFT+ENTER)
- Watch Claude submit the text for you before you were ready.
Expected Behavior
I expect SHIFT+ENTER to add a new line in the Windows editor
Actual Behavior
It submits the text instead.
